    I watched an Alice Cooper concert live, my stepbrother was with me. He apparently was unnerved by my ‘sitting completely still with no facial expressions as I looked at the stage’

    I was trying to imprint it in my memory! It was amazing!!

      It was at a gig for one of my absolute favourite bands playing their greatest album live where she’d got me the tickets for my birthday that my mrs finally understood that sometimes this is just how I appreciate things. I was rapt.

    My roommate thought I hated them when we met, (met ~1 year before moving in) still thinks I might hate them “because I look so soulless”.

    I’m not autistic but I was often called out as a kid for not showing any emotions on my face until I got angry.

    Later in life I discovered that in the old world, Lakota men were expected to have an emotionally blank expression. And it was often misunderstood by white people.

    There was a group of young warriors that called themselves Ugly Faces and would try to make the hardest and scariest faces during hunting and battle. They were enjoying the highest of joy but trying not to show it.
